Today’s Fairy Oracle: Visualization, Inverted – August 10, 2008

This is a familiar card, and I smile when I see her. She reminds us of the importance of daydreaming, fantasizing about what we want, allowing our mind to project images of the future we desire. If you can see something in the mind’s eye, you can manifest it and make it a reality.

It reminds me of a situation with Rhythm years ago, when he was around six or so. Back then, he was taking gymnastics and was an absolute natural at almost everything he did. He’s got a flexible, wiery frame and a tiggery bounce to him that gave him an edge in the sport. However, when it came time to learn how to do a round-off, he was stumped and kept falling. No matter how many times he’d try to do the trick, he’d flub it up and end up falling down. At one point, I called him over to me and had him close his eyes. As his eyes were closed, I instructed him: “See yourself standing at the edge of the mat, preparing yourself to perform the round-off. See yourself running down the mat. See yourself set the cartwheel in motion, and see yourself flip that cartwheel in the air. See yourself land on both feet, solid, and see yourself raise your arms in accomplishment. Watch it in your mind. Can you see it?”

I watched the boy’s eyelids flutter as he imagined what he looked like doing the trick successfully. When he opened his eyes and smiled, I said, “Now go do it just like you saw it in your mind.”

Sure enough, he mastered the trick on his next attempt.

This is a classic example of how visualization can cause creation.

This card is reminding me to see my own future the way I want it to manifest. It encourages me to daydream about the magick shoppe, about happy relationships, about financial well being, and success in all of its forms. The more time I spend visualizing that, the closer it becomes to being reality.

Here’s what the guidebook says:

Card Meaning: Your clairvoyance, your dreams, and the pictures in your mind’s eye are becoming more clear and powerful. This card asks you to trust and to develop your visual skills, and to use them in conscious manifestation.

Card Description: The fairies know the power of conscious visualization as a tool of manifestation. By drawing this card, you are guided to sit quietly on a daily basis and to visualize yourself living a healthy, happy, abundant, and meaningful life. Visualize only what you desire, and avoid picturing that which you do not desire.

You have powerful visual skills, even if you’re unaware of them. Affirm daily, “I am a highly visual person.” Any blocks that you have about clairvoyance will begin to lift. Know that it is safe for you to see the future, the spirit world, and the truth about your life. By relasing any fears about “seeing,” your visualization powers will be greatly magnified.
